Pascal,

I presume you are talking about this:
Bye Bye Wizzy 10

Based on this:

Sorry, but I didn't take any pics of the insides and since the driver is permanently sealed to the baffle, I can't take any for you.

I built mine out of 1/2" birch plywood and used a single 1" vertical brace centered on the back. It is simply put together with titebond glue and 18 gauge 1-1/4" brads.
There are 1" strips glued to the inside to which the baffle is attached.
Damping material is:

All of the parts also came from bltsound.

I also loosely packed it with poly fiber from the hobby store.

Feel free to PM also.

Good luck.
